FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018 AND 2019

(In thousands of US dollars, except share and per share data, or otherwise noted)

1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Kaixin Auto Group (“Kaixin Auto”), formerly known as Renren Jinkong and Renren Auto, was founded in 2011 and was incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Prior to the reorganization discussed in Note 1 in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2018, Kaixin Auto’s operations were insignificant. Renren Inc. (the “Parent” or “Renren”) is the Company’s parent company. Renren is primarily engaged in the operations of a used car trading business. The Company, its consolidated subsidiaries, variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and VIEs’ subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) is primarily engaged in the operation of used car sales business.

Share exchange with Kaixin Auto Holdings (“KAH”, formerly CM Seven Star Acquisition Corporation)

On November 2, 2018, the Company, Renren and KAH (former NASDAQ ticker: CMSS) agreed to a business combination under the terms of a definitive share exchange agreement (the “Business Combination”). The business combination was consummated on April 30, 2019. The following transactions were executed pursuant to the definitive share exchange agreement: 

● In the fourth quarter of 2018, Kaixin transferred its equity interests in Shandong Jieying Huaqi Auto Service Co. along with the relevant assets and liabilities to Renren for a consideration of approximately RMB133.8 million (US$20.0 million);

● In January 2019, Kaixin Auto entered into amendment agreements with the dealership and after-sales service center operators that allowed Kaixin Auto to settle the contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of dealerships and after-sales service centers, by using shares of KAH.   On April 30, 2019, KAH acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company from Renren in exchange for an initial consideration of approximately 28.3 million of KAH shares upon consummation of the Business Combination;  

● On April 30, 2019, all the options granted under the Kaixin Auto Group 2018 Plan were cancelled and replaced by the awards under KAH upon the consummation of the Business Combination;

● On April 30, 2019, Renren waived all the outstanding loans and receivables from Kaixin and/or Kaixin’s subsidiaries without recourse by Renren or any of Renren’s subsidiaries upon consummation of the Business Combination. In addition, Renren agreed to assume and be responsible for all the obligations and considerations due to the dealership and after-sales service center operators upon consummation of the Business Combination.

The assets not associated with the VIEs primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and financing receivable.

There are no consolidated VIEs’ assets that are collateral for the VIEs’ obligations and can only be used to settle the VIEs’ obligations. There are no creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of the VIEs that have recourse to the general credit of the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries. There are no terms in any arrangements, considering both explicit arrangements and implicit variable interests, which require the Company or its subsidiaries to provide financial support to the VIEs. However, if the VIEs ever need financial support, the Company or its subsidiaries may, at its option and subject to statutory limits and restrictions, provide financial support to its VIEs through loans to the shareholders of the VIEs or entrustment loans to the VIEs.

Relevant PRC laws and regulations restrict the VIEs from transferring a portion of its net assets, equivalent to the balance of its statutory reserve and its share capital, to the Company in the form of loans and advances or cash dividends. Please refer to Note 16 for disclosure of restricted net assets.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Security and Exchange Commission and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2018.

In the opinion of the management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of three years ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full years.

The financial information as of December 31, 2018 presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Liquidity 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to generate cash flows from operations, and the Company’s ability to arrange adequate financing arrangements, including the support from its Parent to support its working capital requirements.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had negative working capital of $58,518, a shareholders’ deficit of $121,658, including an accumulated deficit of $165,581. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred losses from operations amounting to $19,616 and generated negative cash flows from operating activities amounting to $266. Prior to the consideration of management’s plans articulated below, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company and KAH have entered into the following agreements, which mitigate these factors:

● In April 2019, 58.com Holdings Inc. (“58.com”), KAH and the Company entered into a convertible loan agreement pursuant to which 58.com has agreed to invest US$1 million into Kaixin. The proceeds from the loan were received on April 30, 2019.

● In April 2019, the Company entered into a long-term borrowing agreement with East West Bank for a total credit up to US$7.3 million. The loan bears an annual interest rate of 5.22%, and has a loan period of eighteen months.   On April 12, 2019, US$5.8 million had been extended to the Company by East West Bank, and the Company will be able to further utilize the remaining credit of U$1.5 million as needed during the loan period.

In addition to the above, the Company considered the following:

● On April 30, 2019, Renren waived all the outstanding loans and receivables from Kaixin and/or Kaixin’s subsidiaries without recourse by Renren or any of Renren’s subsidiaries amounting to US$ 75.6 million upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

● On May 6, 2019, the Company obtained a binding letter of financial support from Renren, whereas Renren agreed to provide continuing financial support to enable the Company to meet in full the financial obligations as they fall due from a period of twelve months from May 6, 2019.

● Kaixin is in the process of requesting certain of their short-term loans to be extended.

● Kaixin has the ability through inventory management techniques to raise additional liquidity.

● Kaixin’s current liabilities balance at March 31, 2019 included $14,250 of contingent consideration which has subsequently been assumed by Renren as further disclosed in Note 1.

As a result of the above activities and plans, the Company believes that it will have adequate sources of liquidity and capital resources to support its daily operations for the next 12 months after the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the financial statements of Kaixin Auto Group, its subsidiaries, its VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries. All inter-companies transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

Leases

The Company leases administrative office spaces and dealership premises in different cities in the PRC under operating leases. The Company determines whether an arrangement constitutes a lease and records lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on its consolidated balance sheets at the lease commencement. The Company measures its lease liabilities based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid discounted based on the more readily determinable of the rate implicit in the lease or its incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated rate the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease. The Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on an analysis of publicly traded debt securities of companies with credit and financial profiles similar to its own. The Company measures right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, and initial direct costs it incurs under the lease. The Company begins recognizing rent expense when the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the Company. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of up to ten years, some of which include options to extend the leases for an additional period which has to be agreed with the lessors based on mutual negotiation. After considering the factors that create an economic incentive, the Company did not include renewal option periods in the lease term for which it is not reasonably certain to exercise.

For short-term leases, the Company records rent expense in its consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and record variable lease payments as incurred.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(cont.)

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for financing receivable, calculation of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, deferred tax valuation allowance, income taxes, value-added taxes, impairment of goodwill, cost allocation, the purchase price allocation associated with business combinations and the fair value of contingent consideration related to business acquisitions.

Inventory

Inventory consists of the purchased used and new automobiles. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined by specific identification. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less costs to complete, dispose and transport the vehicles. Selling prices are derived from historical data and trends, such as sales price and inventory turn times of similar vehicles, as well as independent, market resources. Each reporting period, the Company recognizes any necessary adjustments to reflect vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value through cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Inventory write-downs are established based on management’s review on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis for slow moving and obsolete items. On a quarterly basis, the management examines an inventory report. The vehicle is considered slow moving if it has not been sold within a 90 days period since procurement, in light of the Company’s average inventory turnover days during the year ended December 31, 2018, and three month ended March 31, 2019, were 63 days and 48 days, respectively. In estimating the level of inventory write-downs for slow moving vehicles, the Company considers historical data and forecasted customer demand, such as sales price and inventory turn times of similar vehicles with similar mileage and condition, as well as independent, market information. This valuation process requires management to make judgements, based on currently available information, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions, which are inherently uncertain. To the extent that there are significant changes to estimated vehicle selling prices or decreases in demand for used vehicles, there could be significant adjustment to reflect inventory at net realizable value.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(cont.)

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the good or service has been transferred to the customer, generally either at the time of sale or upon delivery to a customer. The contracts have a fixed contract price and revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The Company collect value added tax and other taxes from customers on behalf of governmental authorities at the time of sale. These taxes are accounted for on a net basis and are not included in net sales and operating revenues or cost of sales. The Company generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded within selling expenses. The Company does not have any significant financing payment terms as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Automobile sales mainly related to sales of used car. Financing income related to revenue generated from its used car financing services, which has been excluded from the scope of the ASC 606 as it represents revenue within the scope of ASC 310, Receivables. Other revenue mainly included commission received by the Company from insurance companies for its facilitating services.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(cont.)

Automobile sales

The Company purchases automobiles from unrelated individuals, third party dealerships or manufacturers and suppliers and sells them directly to its customers through its local dealer shops. The prices of used vehicles are set forth in the customer contracts which are agreed prior to delivery. The Company satisfies its performance obligation for used vehicle sales upon delivery when the transfer of title, risks and awards of ownership and control pass to the owner. The Company recognizes revenue at the agreed upon purchase price stated in the contract, including any delivery charges. When cash is received from customers prior to delivery of the vehicle, the Company records such cash as advance from customers in its consolidated balance sheet, which is immaterial as of March 31, 2019.

Used car financing

The Company generates revenue from its financing services business primarily through financing provided to third party used car dealers. Specifically, the Company provides short-term financing services to third party used car dealers to fund the car dealers’ cash needs for used car purchasing. The financing period is no more than six months and is secured by a pledge of the dealers’ used car with total value exceeding the principal of the financing. The Company charges a one-time upfront service fee as well as financing income on a monthly basis. The Company records financing income and service fees related to those services over the life of the underlying financing using the effective interest method on the unpaid principal amounts. The service fees collected upfront, netting the direct origination costs of the financing, are deferred and recognized as financing income as an adjustment to the yield on a straight line basis over the life of the used car financing.

Other revenue

The Company’s other revenues mainly include revenue generated from agency fees in connection with arrangement with third party dealers whereas the company facilitates sales of their cars. The Company does not control the ownership of the automobiles, but rather is acting as an agent for the third party dealers. Revenue is recognized for the net amount of commission the Company is entitled to retain in exchange for the agency service. The revenue recognized in the first three months of 2018 is immaterial. Other revenues also includes commissions received by the Company from insurance companies and banks for its facilitation services provided to assist customers obtaining related insurance and financing for their automobile purchases.

Value added taxes           

Value-added tax (“VAT”) is reported as a deduction to revenue when incurred and amounted to $5,578 and $640 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities. Net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is recorded in accrued expense and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.                                  

In 2018, the Company entered into a series of ancillary agreements to facilitate its sale of used cars for value-added tax optimization purposes. Under these ancillary agreements, when the Company sources a used car, the legal title of the car is transferred to a Shanghai Jieying’s executive, and the registration is transferred to the name of one of the dealership’s employees. The Company viewed itself as a service provider in the used car transactions, and therefore is only subject to value-added tax on the difference between the original purchase price and the retail price of the used cars.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(cont.)

Newly adopted accounting pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for leases, ASU 2016-02, Leases. The amendments require lessees to recognize, on the balance sheet, assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases of greater than twelve months. The accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged from that applied under previous U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to adopt the amendments in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, with early adoption permitted.

The Company adopted the new standards in the first quarter of 2019, effective January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method, under which the new standards were applied prospectively, versus restating the prior periods presented. The Company elected the practical expedients under the transition guidance which includes the use of hindsight in determining the lease term and the practical expedient package to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, to not reassess the classification of any expired or existing leases, and to not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company has elected not to record on the balance sheet leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. Upon adoption the Company recognized both a right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $5,088 and $4,816, respectively, on the balance sheet. The difference between the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities was due to prepaid rent. There was no impact on the income statement.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted    

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The ASU is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Companies are required to apply the amendments of this ASU using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than temporary impairment has been recognized before the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04: Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the Board eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a prospective basis. An entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. A public business entity should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 related to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The pronouncement eliminates, modifies and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements, including potential early adoption.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to the Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. ASU 2018-17 changes how entities evaluate decision-making fees under the variable interest entity guidance. To determine whether decision-making fees represent a variable interest, an entity considers indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportional basis, rather than in their entirety. This guidance will be adopted using a retrospective approach and is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company is evaluating the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Foreign currency risk

The Renminbi (“RMB”) is not a freely convertible currency. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. Cash and cash equivalents of the Company included aggregate amounts of $7,879 and $3,992 at December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, respectively, which were denominated in RMB.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, financing receivable and amounts due from related parties. The Company places their cash and cash equivalents, with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality. The Company conducts credit evaluations of customers in financing business, and requires collateral or other security from the customers for most of its financing receivable.

There were no customers that accounted for 10% or more of total net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019.

No customers accounted for 10% or more of the balance of accounts receivable or financing receivable as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019.

The Company pays those third party dealerships an advance amounting to the value of the car. The Company agrees to market those cars and if successfully sold, receives a commission from those third party dealerships. The Company does not take title to the cars and merely acts as an agent. The advance is subsequently settled either (1) when the car is sold by the Company or (2) if the car is not sold, the cash is remitted back to the Company by the third party dealership. The balance was substantially collected after March 31, 2019 and the commission earned from the above arrangements is immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019.

⁽ⁱⁱ⁾ Funds receivable mainly represents balances paid by individuals that are held at a third party electronic payment channel as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019. The balances were collected subsequent to period ends.

^(iv) Advance to employees represents cash advanced to employees mainly for purchasing used cars on behalf of the Company.

5. CONVERTIBLE LOAN

On January 26, 2019, the Company, KAH and an investor entered into a convertible loan agreement pursuant to which the investor agreed to invest US$23 million into Kaixin with interest payable at the loan interest rate of 4.35% as stipulated by the People’s Bank of China. An additional penalty interest rate will apply for unremitted amounts in the event of a default. In the event the conversion is consummated before the maturity date, which is the earlier of May 31, 2019 or the termination date the Business Combination, any accrued interest will be waived and will not be payable.

US$20 million of the loan was advanced to the Company on January 28, 2019, and the remaining US$3 million is to be advanced to the Company on January 31, 2020. Upon completion of the Business Combination on April 30, 2019, amounts outstanding US$20 million under the convertible loan was converted into units of KAH at a conversion price of US$10.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one and one tenths ordinary shares and one half of a redeemable warrant of KAH.

As of March 31, 2019, no convertible loan was converted into the units of KAH.

Operating lease

The Company’s leases consist of operating leases for administrative office spaces and dealership premises in different cities in the PRC. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Some lease agreements contain lease and non-lease components, which the Company choose to account for as separate components.

The Company assessed the available evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income would be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, full valuation allowances were established because the Company believes that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be utilized as it does not expect to generate sufficient taxable income in the near future.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and contingent consideration at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019. The Company measured its financing receivables, short-term and long-term debt at amortized cost. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on the quoted market price in an active market. The carrying value of financing receivable approximates its fair value due to its short-term nature and is considered level 3 measurement. Such fair value was estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity with estimated discount rates based on current offering rates of comparable financings with similar terms. The carrying value of the debt obligations approximate fair value considering the borrowing rates are at the same level of the current market yield for the comparable debts and represent a level 2 measurement. The carrying value of amounts due from/to related parties’ approximate fair value due to the relatively short maturity.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Kaixin Auto Group Incentive Plan (the “Kaixin Auto Group 2018 Plan”)

On January 31, 2018, Kaixin Auto adopted a stock incentive plan, whereby 40,000,000 ordinary shares of Kaixin Auto Group (“Kaixin”) are made available for future grant for employees or consultants of Kaixin either in the form of incentive share options or restricted shares. The plan was amended and restated in May 2018 that up to 140,000,000 ordinary shares will be made available for granting as awards.

On March 15, 2018 and July 1, 2018, Kaixin issued an aggregate of 36,461,500 options to purchase Kaixin’s ordinary shares to certain of its directors, officers and employees to compensate their services. The term of the options may not exceed ten years from the date of the grant, except for the situation of amendment, modification and termination. The awards under the above plans are subject to vesting schedules ranging from immediately upon grant to four years subsequent to grant date. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the share options granted during the period presented was $0.52. In determining the fair value of share options granted, a binomial option pricing model is applied.

	2018
Risk-free interest rate(1)		2.82	%
Volatility(2)		28%-55	%
Expected term (in years)(3)		10
Exercise price(4)	$	0.3
Dividend yield(5)		—
Fair value of underlying ordinary share(6)	$	0.75

(1) Risk-free interest rate

Risk-free interest rate was estimated based on the yield to maturity of treasury bonds of the United States with a maturity period close to the expected life of the options.

(2) Volatility

The volatility of the underlying ordinary shares during the life of the options was estimated based on the historical stock price volatility of listed comparable companies over a period comparable to the expected term of the options.

(3) Expected term

For the options granted to employees, the Company estimated the expected term based on the vesting and contractual terms and employee demographics. For the options granted to non-employees, the Company estimated the expected term as the original contractual term.

(4) Exercise price

The exercise price of the options was determined by the Company’s board of directors.

(5) Dividend yield

The dividend yield was estimated by the Company based on its expected dividend policy over the expected term of the options.

(6) Fair value of underlying ordinary shares

The estimated fair value of the ordinary shares underlying the options as of the valuation date was determined based on a contemporaneous valuation. When estimating the fair value of the ordinary shares on the valuation dates, management has considered a number of factors, including the result of a third party appraisal of the Company, while taking into account standard valuation methods and the achievement of certain events. The fair value of the ordinary shares in connection with the option grants on the valuation date was determined with the assistance of an independent third party appraiser.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) during the three months ended March 31, 2019 is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who is responsible for decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company.

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and is identified on the basis of the internal financial reports that are provided to and regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s CODM reviewed the financial information of the used car sales business carried out by the Company on a consolidated basis. Therefore, the Company has one operating and reportable segment. The Company operates solely in the PRC and all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the PRC.

The Company does not allocate assets to its current operating segments as management does not believe that allocating these assets is useful in evaluating these segments’ performance. Accordingly, the Company has not made disclosure of total assets by reportable segment.

All of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 was generated from the PRC.

15. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

Full time employees of the Company in the PRC participate in a government-mandated defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. The Company accrues for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries. The total provisions for such employee benefits from continuing operations were $ 1,009 and $ 849 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

16. STATUTORY RESERVE AND RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

In accordance with the Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment of China and their articles of association, the Company’s subsidiaries and VIE entities located in the PRC, being foreign invested enterprises established in the PRC, are required to provide for certain statutory reserves. These statutory reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion fund or discretionary reserve fund, and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the general reserve fund requires a minimum annual appropriation of 10% of after-tax profit (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in China at each year-end); the other fund appropriations are at the subsidiaries’ or the affiliated PRC entities’ discretion. These statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes of enterprise expansion, staff bonus and welfare, and are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation of the Company’s subsidiaries, the Company’s affiliated PRC entities and their respective subsidiaries. The Company’s subsidiaries and VIE entities are required to allocate at least 10% of their after-tax profits to the general reserve until such reserve has reached 50% of their respective registered capital.

As of March 31, 2019, none of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIE entities had a general reserve that reached the 50% of their registered capital threshold, therefore they will continue to allocate at least 10% of their after-tax profits to the general reserve fund.

Appropriations to the enterprise expansion reserve and the staff welfare and bonus reserve are to be made at the discretion of the board of directors of each of the Company’s subsidiaries. The appropriation to these reserves by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries was $nil and $nil for the year ended December 31, 2018 and three months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.

As a result of these PRC laws and regulations and the requirement that distributions by PRC entities can only be paid out of distributable profits computed in accordance with PRC GAAP, the PRC entities are restricted from transferring a portion of their net assets to the Company. Amounts restricted include paid-in capital and the statutory reserves of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIE entities. The aggregate amounts of capital and statutory reserves restricted which represented the amount of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries and VIE entities in the Company not available for distribution was $97,697 and $103,524 as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, respectively.
